    When Mario Galaxy dropped as the Wii’s launch title in 2007, it cost $50. Adjust for inflation, and that comes out to $77 in 2025. Why tf are people clutching their pearls over the price? Why are people acting like Covid and inflation didn’t happen? Nintendo is staying right in that same price range it always has. The bitching and whining needs to stop.

      Why are all you poors mad that things you could afford before have increased their prices to match inflation while your wages haven’t?

      How I’m reading your comment, btw

        So tired of seeing the same “inflation!!” BS trotted out, as if buying power has remained the same. It hasn’t, at all.

      Wages have stayed stagnant during that time, so it might not have gotten much more expensive in comparison to other stuff, it has gotten more expensive compared to what we have left over after paying for necessities.

        This is up to you, to be frank. You have to apply to jobs, negotiate and haggle. Your current employer will never give you a raise unless you have an offer from somewhere else, and even then they often won’t out of some weird principle. You gotta do a bit of job hopping

      I agree with your point, but not a fan of the inflammatory delivery.
